Mattress is made of the best of fabric. It is luxurious, elegant and very
smooth. Special treatment is given to make mattress fabric fire resistant
and anti-microbial that eliminates bacteria, fungi, mildew, and mold.
Sometimes it is quilted to give extra comfort. It repels liquids and resists
stains. It breathes well and is durable.
The fabric used to cover the exterior of a mattress is called mattress
ticking. Higher quality mattresses have higher coil counts, and a good
cushion sewn into the mattress. The sagging in the mattress is by the
padding. Thicker and higher quality padding makes good mattress.
The mattress may be coiled or non-coiled. Coiled mattress has metal spring
coil, which is layered between sheets of padding. In non-coiled mattress,
the varieties are foam mattress, featherbed, futons, and waterbeds.
